The fresh, uncharted territory of new housing developments is arguably the ideal context for pioneer ministry. But serving and blessing a community that might not yet exist can present challenges as well as opportunities.

This engaging booklet gives practical advice for regional leaders who are considering how to serve emerging areas in their jurisdiction, as well as pioneer ministers who are working in new communities.
